As a seasoned crypto investor with years of experience under my belt, I’ve learned to always prioritize security, especially when it comes to digital assets. The recent warning from Changpeng Zhao about potential vulnerabilities on MacOS systems, particularly those with Intel chips, serves as a stark reminder for us all.
Recently, the former CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, highlighted some newly discovered weaknesses in the MacOS system that pose a threat especially to users who have Intel processors.
In his latest post on X platform’s social media, Zhao recommended that if you own a MacBook equipped with an Intel processor, it’s crucial to update it immediately for your security (SAFU stands for Stay Safe).
As a crypto investor, I promptly took advantage of the latest security upgrades that Apple rolled out following the unearthing of significant vulnerabilities – demonstrating their commitment to safeguarding user data and investments like mine.
One issue impacted JavaScriptCore, the tool that runs JavaScript code. If users were to visit unsafe sites, it might enable malicious individuals to carry out harmful instructions without obtaining user consent. This could potentially result in the loss of important and confidential data for the user.
An alternative vulnerability, previously fixed, might be reused by cyber-attackers to execute harmful code on users’ systems. This is possible through exploiting the WebKit component used in Safari, which could lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. In this attack, malicious actors trick unsuspecting victims into believing they are accessing genuine websites, ultimately compromising their security.
Starting from 2020, Apple made public their move away from Intel processors after using them for approximately 15 years in their computers. Subsequently, they launched the MacBook Air laptop equipped with their self-developed M1 chip, which proved to be highly successful. More recently, Apple unveiled its impressive M4 chips.
During the final three months of this year, nearly 15% of all personal computers shipped within the U.S. were from Apple.
